Always interesting to listen to these discussions.. good summary of the game. Big ups to Wales for a valiant effort. Keep an eye on them going forward.

[@cliftonboyz1959]

watch Wales at the next RWC...they will be a threat.

[@janhbhugo5085]

Respect to Wales !

[@tilmanvondelft]

If I’m not mistaken Jordan succeeded with 5/7 kicks at poles

[@José-j9y3b]

In 2025, bokke will be another beast if theres less rotating... In rassie we trust....

[@janevanreenen8768]

I agree. Manie comes under the hammer big time if he misses kicks….. not so anyone else…

[@petrusvanderMerwe-o9k]

bokke in a good place they meed to improve harder work neede they know it

[@cliftonboyz1959]

Not making the cut for next RWC: Libbok, Mpimpi, Le Roux, Salmaan, Kitshoff, Malherbe, Mostert, Mbnambi, Lood de Jager, Nico Janse van Rensburg

[@evanh8749]

Hmmm... I wouldn't rule out Malherbe, Mostert or Bongi yet. Malherbe finally has competition, but they might still bring him. Mostert started more as a utility lock/flank option, so if he is ousted as a starter he might revert to that role. Bongi might not make it, but he's still clearly ahead right now, and he plays less minutes so might still make it. And van Rensberg might still be in consideration for the squad in future, if Mostert doesn't make it he might back up Nortje in that instance as a lineout caller. But he has more competition.

[@designmanagementconsultanc4143]

We don't critisize the guys losing 3 points with penalties conceded instead everyone focuses on Manie missing the kicks

[@roryblake3232]

Context is everything, Manie missed in a very tight couple of games, Hendrikse missed in a game where Boks were miles ahead. Obviously Manie's misses are far more important considering the position in the respective games.

[@designmanagementconsultanc4143]

@roryblake3232 I guess my point is the games wouldn't be tight if someone else hadn't conceded penalties in the first place... and we never mention those guys

[@tpkorea6c]

Rassie's plans are not coming together, sorry. The Wales game should have been won with at least 70 for the Boks, looking at the statistics. They still don't have that killing instinct. Then, where is the Tony Brown attack magic. The Bok backline are still brainless with no skills, sorry.

[@roryblake3232]

Are you Ben Smith?

[@internationalconsultant1200]

If the Boks want to play according to their full potential - they will have to stop changing and chopping and play the combinations together

[@sakabula2357]

I think that's his plan..this year was building depth..now its tweaking those players

[@megafoonsport]

Yes, Rassie said he would start narrowing down the squad next year

[@janhbhugo5085]

Rassie knows that !

[@evanh8749]

I expect further experimentation next year in the initial training/alignment camps and first few months. From then it will be dramatically cut down. I'm hoping they take the opportunity at that point to build a proper competitive SA A team to maintain the culture and experience building for the next level of guys.

[@vanrensburgarchitecturebim1641]

I'm thinking continuity will be 2026 & '27....this year and next is for fine-tuning the big picture
